Basically, you need to create some sort of a "well" to hold the transducer in place. Some folks have reported good luck with using a piece of foam. Spread a thick layer of marine grease over the bottom of your xducer making sure that there are no air bubbles. Gently push the transducer into the well until it seats with the hull. Anchor the xducer with some kind of strap, (velcro, bungie, etc), and you are done.

I don't think that it is very important that you mount on a flat part of the hull. The grease will fill any empty areas. It is probably important that you have the xducer pointed straight down and not to the side, front or back to any large degree.

Thanks Bob...I found your thread on the grease mount method. It sounds like still you prefer the wet well though.
The problem staring me in the face is the fact that the Stealth is so deep V'd in the very front where I'd like to mount the transducer. I'm struggling to figure out how to create a well that sits down in the V nice and snug to allow me to create a 'goop dam' at the base of it.
Has anyone installed one of these in the front of a Stealth using a well?
What did you use and modify to fit down in the V to hold the trans?

Thanks guys!
